Pylorus - Footsteps of Greed

⠀

I'm rewriting this review for the 1.1.0 version that i somehow missed by 4 days. The game is still as good as before. There are a few bugs such as the area that you can attack is larger than it shows on screen, and the shop crashes your game when you open it. Although this happens the game still feels like your going through an adventure and have it all summarised which makes it feel like you have a story to leave behind as your character. Also I would love to see Mod Support because I want to make some mods for this game since i think some things are lacking here. I would also love to see a building system where you can build a temporary base that can protect you from the enemies, and have durability so they can break down. Also I would want to see at least a guaranteed chance to have a boss spawn on the 5 minute mark of playing on one of the layers. I know this could be extremely hard because I know how hard coding is. Also another idea is to add a dimension that spawned more stronger enemies and had different unlocks that you can bring back to the main dimension where you can unlock badges and such. And the last thing I would want to see are collectables that could be to decorat…

It's actually pretty dope it's got bosses and yes it is very challenging I feel like the triangle for my melee doesn't follow my mouse right sometimes, but that could be me honestly overall though I played two bosses and they're pretty interesting if you like bullet hell top down games it's definitely worth a look for free.

"Pylorus - Footsteps of Greed" is an amateurish, badly made top down action "roguelike" (read: Procgen algorithms used as a substitute for content) where you search for gold in some kind of pixel-esque/MS-Paint nightmare of a technical delivery. There's lightweight RPG elements, but the primary part of the experience here is just awful game design and worse implementation. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. The graphics here are particularly awful, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression …

[h1]Before I played Pylorus - Footsteps of Greed, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Its free and if it can even give you some fun time then its good right? I actually want to play more. I got crashed from entering a shop on floor 2, not sure what happened but the game just closed. Edit 1: I re opened the game and I was still on floor 2, not sure where the shop went though.
